The Dalmore 50 Year Old presentation case
Scottish distillery The Dalmore is releasing a special 50-year old whisky to celebrate an anniversary of the same age for its master distiller, along with a video to show consumers how it was done.
To continue with the theme of 50, The Dalmore 50 Year Old is priced at £50,000, or roughly $53,202 at current exchange. The special whisky celebrates the 50th anniversary of master distiller Richard Patterson?s work in the industry.
?This is a special year for me so I chose to finesse this whisky in a Champagne cask, as this magnificent drink is synonymous with celebratory occasions,” said Richard Paterson, master distiller at The Dalmore. ?Bringing the champagne together with Matusalem oloroso sherry and port is perhaps the greatest example to date of our ability to innovate in both maturation and cask finishing while preserving the signature flavors of The Dalmore.” Shot for success

The Dalmore will be selling a special whisky, which started the aging process in 1966 in American white oak exBourbon casks. After 37 years, the whisky was then transferred to Matusalem oloroso sherry casks, and again in 2012 to Port Colheita pipes.

Once the aging process was complete, in January of 2016 the whisky was put into Bourbon barrels and then in November, finessed in Domaine Henri Giraud Champagne casks for 50 days before bottling.
